Leipzig bring in Bruma from Galatasaray

2 years ago

Fresh from finishing second in their debut Bundesliga campaign and qualifying for the Champions League, RB Leipzig have looked to strengthen their squad once again with the signing of Portugal U21 international Bruma from Turkish side Galatasaray.

Bruma, whose full name is Armindo Tue Na Bangna, has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the Saxony club, and at just 22 years of age, becomes another up-and-coming talent within the already youthful Leipzig squad.

Born in Guinea-Bissau, Bruma is a product of the Sporting Lisbon youth system in Portugal, which produced the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. The winger moved to Turkey to join Galatasaray in 2013, where his debut season was cut short by a cruciate ligament injury.

However, after loan spells at Gaziantepspor and Real Sociedad, he has contributed 11 goals and six assists to the Istanbul club's push for a top-three finish this term.
